Obviously you are a perfectionist. Is your goal to get your weight down to a buck even to compete in the strawweight division?

Hindu Squats help stretch the tendons/ligaments or whatever there called, I used to do them. The style of martial art your club teaches sounds practical for street combat. One of my criticisms of BJJ is that some schools/instructors don't teach enough takedowns. I took BJJ classes for 2 months and we rarely practiced any takedowns including the more advanced students. How is someone supposed to apply BJJ techniques in a street situation if they can't take someone to the ground?

This dojo teaches JJJ and BJJ in British Columbia. I don't know of that many schools that teach both styles of JJ. A friend of mine teaches yoga there. http://www.wacademy.net/index.html

Please explain this I get all kinds of freaky associations. You tie each other up and just go nuts or what??

I just realized how this sounds!

Get those dirty thought out of your mind, offense 74, it's strictly training! I'm training my stomach and legs to be able to withstand punches and kicks for fighting. I'm all bruised up but I'll heal back tougher.
